Take A Deep Breath... By MickeyM on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Safety in your home is important for all of us. For years most of us have had smoke detectors. But if you have any gas appliances or a firplace in your home a Carbon Monoxide detectos is as important or more important. CO is an odorless and colorless gas. So this makes for a double threat to your safety. The problem is you just get tired or a headache and want to go to sleep in the presence of CO but the problem is you don't get up. The BRK is a dual power detector it is wired into your house power but has a 9 volt battery that provides a safety net in the event of a power loss in your home. It mounts on a wall or ceiling with included brackets but does need house power to operate the battery is just a back up. It has a test button and a mechanism to prevent false alarms. If you don't have one please make this purchase for yourself and your family.

Carbon monoxide poisioning scares me so bad because you don't even know it's happening. Your so right that you just go to sleep.
I think that every new house that is built should already have these installed-it's so important!
It's so important for everyone to have these in their homes. Great job and thanks for sharing!
We hear so much of a problem with carbon monoxide, we all should have these in our home and make sure they are in working order.
It is really important to have a detector since you can't see or smell carbon monoxide.
